Question

Most of the energy released by oxidizing glucose is saved in the high-energy bonds of what molecules?

Answer 1

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. ADP and other activated carrier molecules.

B. ATP and other activated carrier molecules.

C. GDP and other activated carrier molecules.

D. H2O and CO2.

Answer:

B. ATP and other activated carrier molecules.

Explanation:

The glucose molecule is the most favored molecule which could enter the cells and tissues and provide energy. This is explained by the reason that glucose is also the most favored substrate for a reaction which could produce energy-providing molecule from the glucose.  

The reaction which oxidizes the glucose molecule and produces energy molecule is known as cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is a complex metabolic process that transforms the glucose into the ATP molecule and the other carrier molecules like NADH and FADH₂. These ATP and carrier molecules help in the other metabolic reactions.

Thus, Option-B is correct.
